It rather shows that you are trolling since you are at least vaguely aware 
how Cancel messages work, and what they mean, and not only reply regardless 
but also deny their significance.

> Cancel messages are purely advisory,

Cancel messages are control messages.  A news server may ignore them at own 
risk.  That does not make them “purely advisory”.

<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5536#section-3.2.3> pp.

> and routinely ignored by the backbone

There is no “backbone”; Usenet is explicitly decentralized.  Each news 
server administrator can set their own rules regarding to which messages to 
accept from which peers, which to keep, and which to distribute to which 
peers.

> because they are not authenticated.

Some news servers now require Cancel messages to be authenticated before 
executed, that is, to match the lock-signature of the posting to be 
canceled; others (like the one I am using since about 10 years) do not.

> It has been decades since one could expect a cancel to work.

Utter nonsense.  That a Cancel message works was the general idea.  It was 
only after some people abused this feature that some servers decided to 
ignore cancels or require authentication.

The Internet draft for lock-signing messages, and cancel messages to match 
that signature, is a lot younger than that.  And it has expired even though 
it is implemented.

<http://wiki.killfile.org/projects/usenet/faqs/cancel/>
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_message>
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-usefor-cancel-lock-01>
<http://individual.net/faq.php#1.12>

So much for *your* “understanding of Usenet and the applicability of RFCs”.  
It is also exemplified by the way you changed the Subject header field 
value.

That was 2013-10-28 13:37:03 UTC (about 2 minutes later).  To be sure (not 
all servers support “Supersedes” either), I sent the corresponding Cancel 
message only seconds later.
